Document Summary

Review of the fluid compartments in the body. Icf is the fluid within cells, also known as cytosol: 60% of body volume, ecf is the fluid found outside of the cells. + large solutes (proteins) that are suspended: blood contains water, electrolytes, and other non-charged molecules for example glucose, electrolytes, na+, k+, ca2+, mg2+, cl-, hco3-, hpo4-2, There are two major ones; phosphates (hpo4-2, h2po-4) and proteins. Total body water (tbw: volume = 42l, 60% body weight, ecf v=14l, 1/3 tbw. Interstitial fluid: v=11l, 80% of ecf, plasma, v=3l, 20% of ecf, there"s a greater concentration of protein in the plasma compartment as opposed to the interstitial fluid. Is isotonic and at osmotic equilibrium: there"s no massive movement of water from one compartment to another, which is why we"re able to function. **a lot more in this compartment than the ecf: has to do with capillary function in regulating.
